...you are gonna get burned. Or if you have your head in the clouds while cooking. Slightly sleeping still and making breakfast, I went about my usual pattern for making Ramen (yes, I know, Ramen for breakfast is weird) this morning- grab a pot, put water in it, put it on the burner, turn the burner on, wait for it to boil, etc. Not too long but not too short after that I was frustrated to see that my water wasnt even close to boiling, and should have been (my toast was done already, after all). Soon after I realized that I had failed to turn on the correct burner, rolled my eyes at my sleepy self, and moved the pot over. What I had failed to notice was that the handle of the pot was sitting directly over a red hot burner, and had grown quite steamy itself. This was brought to my attention with a string of swear words and a now painfully burnt hand. I hope next time I learn better.
**authors note** while the above blogpost seems brief and possibly uninteresting, as well as a waste of your time, I just wanted to share something in story form. It is much more interesting than a facebook status reading "burnt my hand today cuz i had the wrong burner on"usually and as faithful followers, you seem to enjoy trivial stories about my life. Thank you for your time, ~Mer~
This was more interesting than facebook post by the way.
